UNSPSC 93110000: Socio political conditions

UNSPSC 93110000 Socio political conditions is a Family code that encompasses government procurement for political advocacy, legislative representation, and strategic communications services. State and local governments buy lobbying services, advocacy consulting, communications strategy support, and related political engagement work under this code, as evidenced by recent solicitations for federal and state legislative advocacy, disability economic advancement advocacy strategy design, and RUC outreach and communications.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span municipal governments, counties, regional authorities, and specialized state agencies. The City of Gallup and City of Rio Rancho have each posted separate solicitations for federal and state lobbying services respectively; the Oregon Department of Transportation solicited RUC outreach and communications consulting; Metrocare and The Meadows Foundation joint-partnered on a Texas disability advocacy strategy procurement; and Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works sought a regional shared mobility communications campaign coordinator.
